7-Zip

I've been fiddling for almost an hour and I can't figure out how to use the -i switch with the x command

Basically I have a .tar.gz file with some pretty complex directories and I just need to grab a handful of files out of it

Could someone give me an example of this? I tried a list file, I tried passing the full path that is inside the archive, I've tried several things, basically I want

7z -oDESTINATION archive.tar.gz -irWANTEDFILE(S)

Anyone know, I've been combing the internet to no avail

Thanks

Sorry, meant 7z x -oDESTINATION archive.tar.gz -irWANTEDFILE(S)

7z l archive.tar.gz

See your problem?

I'm guessing your pointing out that 7z isn't too happy with tar.gz(s)

But since I can't find a true example anywhere, could you give me the example syntax for

7z -oDESTINATION archive.zip -irWANTEDFILE(S)

or any archive it will handle?

$ 7z e openssl-0.9.8l.tar.gz
